title: Purification and characterization of anti-Listeria compounds produced by Geotrichum candidum.
abstract: Geotrichum candidum can produce and excrete compounds that inhibit Listeria monocytogenes. These were purified by ultrafiltration, centrifugal partition chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, gel filtration, and high-pressure liquid chromatography, and analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, and optical rotation. Two inhibitors were identified: D-3-phenyllactic acid and D-3-indollactic acid.
